The event management course has been developed to enable the progression from introductory understanding of business concepts in the first year to the necessary critical skills expected of a business graduate in the final year.

The first year covers contemporary management challenges. As it is shared across all our business courses, you'll have the flexibility to transfer to another course if you decide you want to pursue another area, such as marketing or supply chain management.

Year two takes a practical look at the theoretical concepts presented during the first year and provides an opportunity to engage in work-based learning through our industry internship scheme.

Year three will integrate your academic knowledge and develop a deep understanding of the inter-disciplinary nature of business.
